I would strongly recommend that you consider a centrifugal superchrger if you are planning to tow.

I love the Mag. roots style SC--they are better off the line----quick throttle response, etc. They also generate a lot of heat under load. If you are pulling up hill, etc. and do not monitor exhaust temp, you can easily cause engine damage. I have friend who found this out the hard way.

If you do pull with a roots SC vrs. a centifuga;, you must install ehaust temp guages and watch them closely--anything over 1500 degrees plus, you muts let the engine cool down while running. Otherwise engine damage---usually valves may occur.

The trailer you show looks light so maybe all of this warning is for nothing. Heavy loads though could be a problem.
